    The dimming is a proximity sensor to keep you from burning your hand off.

  • @BlackSheep1

    In a survival situation I think its a good idea to have a flashlight that you can grow crops under inside your bunker. Just sayin.

  • @Pookie556x45
    @Pookie556x45 6 років тому +14

    If you had read the literature for the flashlight, you would have found that the dimming was anti-burn feature, there’s a sensor mounted in the front to make sure you don’t injure yourself/melt something

    To those wondering why it's not looking brighter, his cameras are going to try and compensate for the excess light and make things look less impressive than they would be.

  • @elkhunter8664

    Does it come with a pocket clip for EDC?

    • @kylejones2318

  • @StephenB2
    @StephenB2 6 років тому +13

    Well on one hand it's bright enough to use as a self-defense weapon in your home and the light would blind the s*** out of the intruder but on the other hand it cost as much as a Glock

    • @coraconnors7352

      Well, you see, it's been shown that anything more than 1,000 lumens will give you cancer........in Commiefornia.

    Think I read on an average day the sun puts out approx 10,000 lumens in a 1-square foot area... making this brighter than the sun. I want one!

  • @carpi2
    @carpi2 4 роки тому

    The dimming is a safety feature. If you point it at something close is dims down....so you don't get burned.

  • @boatssolo7620
    @boatssolo7620 6 років тому +1

    It does a dimming because has a photo sensor that dims if you're too close to objects also it only holds 25000 lumens for about 5 minutes or so

    Can that start a fire by light alone?

    • @cdawson198600
      @cdawson198600 6 років тому

      foamysking it has a sensor to prevent that from happening, most lights with 2000+ lumens and a high enough candela will set fires.

    • @foamysking
      @foamysking 6 років тому +1

      cdawson198600 figured it might that sensor may account for the pulsing at the beginning cause he felt heat and it didn’t seem to when aimed at something farther... still really cool

    Got to fondle one of these last weekend at Bladeshow. The guy running the table made us shine it at the ceiling as to not muzzle the fuck out of someone with 25k lumens lol.
    While it's certainly crazy bright, I feel these are more novelty than anything else

  • @tormodhag6824
    @tormodhag6824 4 роки тому

    It doesnt look bright in the video because he has autoexposure on the camera. If you turn it off, the camera wont dim the video to compensate for the light, which in turn would truly show how bright it is.

  • @ssmak4758
    @ssmak4758 6 років тому

    The light has a proximity sensor that turns it down for safety when it senses something close .That was what you were seeing when you put your hand in front of it.

    He dimming is a feature it has so that u don't blind yourself. Bright ass lights have that light back feature in them when it's shinning off of a close object. Notice how it kept going back and forth yet when u pointed it at the wall behind u it stopped doing it

    So, it’s a handheld spotlight. That’s pretty cool. Even cooler is that because it’s Gucci and boutique at $600... other competitors will start trying to escalate the Lumens Wars, and we will see a similar handheld spotlight in a couple years for under $200. Love America 🇺🇸

    • @WitchyWagonReal

  • @darrenparkes9805
    @darrenparkes9805 4 роки тому

    Yes it wasn’t charged,fully, very high protection circuitry, dimming prevents damage , you would not have got 25,000 lumens without fully charging, built for search and rescue. I wish I could own this beast, but it not the biggest monster take a look at imalent, 100,000 lumen monster, all these lights come with. Cooling fans, too much heat, but I enjoyed your vlog.
